Environment Canterbury's new teal bus design. Environment Canterbury unveiled the new teal bus designs last week as work to replace 100 buses - about half the fleet – ramped up. Research had found a lack of clarity around what public transport was available in Christchurch, and the new single look was believed to be part of the solution. Stewart Gibbon, Ecan's public transport senior manager, said the cost was in the context of the council's new $61.4 million per annum bus contracts. "That means now is the right time to introduce a design look that our network will carry for many years."
